mitigated by providing prompt, effective medical treatment to injured

bringing objectivity and consistency to the disability rating system,

Last year the GSMA called on TRAI to remain within the global IMT2000
scheme for harmonised 3G services and reject the US PCS band and the
mixed-band plan proposals, which would have led to isolation of India's
mobile telecommunications and IT sectors. Encompassing technical , commercial
and public policy initiatives, the GSMA focuses on ensuring wireless services
work globally, thereby enhancing the value of mobile services to individual
customers and national economies while creating new business opportunities
for operators and their suppliers.3 billion customers across 210 countries and

"We've also approved nearly 500
medical provider networks to date, so the framework for effective
medical treatment is in place.
In the first year of SB 899, the division has also focused on
hiring new employees, providing internal and external training and on
reaching out to employers and injured workers with updated materials
and workshops. This ensures that India retains alignment with
the International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) IMT2000 core (2GHz) band
for 3G services."
However, the GSMA also notes that some of the other recommendations of
TRAI could provide unfair advantages to CDMA operators over GSM.

SB 899's
return to work provision supplies an incentive for employers to return
injured workers to the job.
"Drafting these regulations is a vital part of implementing the
reforms, because the regulations help users of the workers'
compensation system understand how to apply the law," said Hoch. As part of
its recommendations, TRAI suggested immediate release of additional spectrum
for CDMA operators in the 800MHz band - which the GSMA views as preferential
treatment with no set timetable for the release of additional spectrum to
operators of GSM and future 3GSM based services.

dir. "This will open
up enormous opportunities for India's IT industry to support the development
of applications and solutions on a global basis.
"Whilst India 's regulator is on track to implement 3G in harmony with the
global spectrum scheme, its plans to favour specific technologies by allowing
them a head start, are inconsistent with the Government 's policy of
technology neutrality, and do not provide a level playing field for all
operators ," added Phillips.

"The division has accomplished nearly insurmountable tasks this
year -- and the hard work is paying off," said DWC Administrative
Director Andrea Lynn Hoch.
The GSM Association is therefore calling on the Minister of
Telecommunications + IT and India's Telecom Commission to demonstrate fair
and equal treatment for all players with regard to timing of allocation of
spectrum for 3G services- both EVDO + 3GSM (W-CDMA), when the final decision
is made, and to ensure the simultaneous release of spectrum in the 2GHz
(IMT-2000 core band), and 800MHz frequency bands.
